Does it really matter. when a country Like South Africa puts a solid case before the ICJ with solid documented proof about all genocidal attacks on civilians. The ICJ and the international community prefers to look away. and instead tells Israel to be more careful “next time”, as if what has been committed isn’t already enough.

erranto ,

They are tying their tongues in knots when the answer to South Africa’s case is really simple. Israel “IS COMITTING GENOCIDE” and it should stop.

there are significant concerns from both sides on human right issues, war crime and individual conduct.

it is Like saying we have heard you but Israel needs to finish the job here. So here is a token for All of you Allies Of Israel, Let’s All act concerned about Human rights violations and respecting international law so we can buy them more Time. and if any faction of your citizens criticize your inaction, you can refer to our decision as we are the sole jurors of international law.

let democracy, law and order do its job

As if the Entity currently committing Genocide isn’t considered a democracy. Or the one which invaded Iraq under the lie of them having nuclear weapons isn’t a democracy, and has resulted in hundreds of thousands of civilian deaths. or millions of death caused by colonialism of “European Domocracies” the biggest of which is the UK. I can go on and on about what democracies have committed around the world. you can still use it to pat yourselves on the back. but if you take a honest look you will see that democracies aren’t inherently better than other forms when it comes to criminal and imperialist conduct.

They are very fierce at censoring their IP material, anything that lands on youtube that hasn’t been altered to avoid copyright bot, gets taken down immediately. even shows that have aired the same day.

I have been following the DMA closely, and so far it has been a big disappointment, just as I expected.

The way the EU approaches this walled garden problem, is to try and offer ways for other competitors to tap into the user base of the bigger players instead of trying to allow all EU citizens to chat with any other EU citizen who uses META Products regardless of their host platform. meaning “us” people who wish to self host an xmpp or Matrix servers and chat with facebook friends, It won’t be straight forward or entirely possible for us to do so. unless maybe by doing a KYC with META. and signing up very stringent service agreements.

Meta will be creating all sorts of hurdles the DMA laws will allow them to, to cripple interoperability, from making other plateform signing up to special permissions from Meta, to hiding interoperability settings and making them opt-in, and building a scary rhetoric why you shouldn’t be allowing other people outside of META to get in contact with you. There are some valid concerns, but I suspect Meta will implement the most spiteful procedures they can get away with, then spin up a rhetoric about proving their users being massing against interoperability.

Yep, even when bing censors something, it gets censored by DDG aswell, DDG is just a fancy proxy.

The main feature i would like to see on Lemmy

Im pretty satisfied with Lemmy, but one thing i wish you could do is browse instances. Like i wish there was a way i could almost emulate being on my programming.dev account and see all that instances communities while im logged into this account.

I call bullshit on this, This is nothing short of propaganda by think tank that is financed by the military industrial complex.

Putin won’t dare NATO member countries, especially when he hasn’t finished with Ukraine.

erranto ,

What these big giants were trying to do is scoop up as much talent as possible so they don’t end up at a competitor, even if that meant some employees would be getting very light workloads. that’s one of the many reasons too Google keeps starting new projects and killing them a few years later.

erranto ,

He is not technically wrong, as the Taiwanese themselves haven’t declared independence from China.

erranto ,

So they are not independent then. not even their staunchest ally (USA) recognizes their Independence, so I don’t see where is the controversy with Irish PM’s statement.

erranto ,

Contrary to many in here, I don’t think this will cause another exodus from reddit. those who might be concerned by this have already left or reduced their time on the platform

erranto ,

I don’t know where you are getting your numbers. maybe it’s your selection bias, but facebook’s userbase keeps groing, and even if its getting less teenager engagement, those teenagers are flocking to Meta’s other platform Instagram.

If you are doing professional work. than Gimp doesn’t come close to Photoshop, when they will introduce non-destructive editing Gimp will definitely become better. but PS keeps widening the gap with very powerful tools like AI fill an stuff.

  • Gimp needs to seriously reconsider their UX/UI design it is an absolute nightmare. it feels like trying to steer a spaceship from Startreck.

I am not criticizing the free work of the open source community. it is just a recognition that commercial software is way ahead of anything the FOSS community has produced so far. And this is true for almost all software categories

Pakistan recalls ambassador to Iran over airstrike that killed 2 children (www.latimes.com)

Pakistan recalled its ambassador to Tehran on Wednesday, a day after Iran launched airstrikes on Pakistan that it claimed targeted bases of a militant Sunni separatist group. Islamabad angrily denounced the attack as a “blatant violation” of its airspace and said it killed two children....

Pakistan needs to get its home security in order. It has been the breeding ground for many armed militias. the 100 deaths in the Latest bombing in Iran seems to have been caused by a militia operating from Pakistan #

Now Nazi Germans are teaming up with Israel and other Germans against the Arabs and the Browns, As long long as they find an inferior race to hate, they are fine with whoever are their allies.

erranto ,

As long as they keep getting money out of it. and with record numbers year over year. they have no incentive to change course. Google has a monopoly over search engine that affords them the unique position of not giving a dime about user satisfaction. the users are trapped anyway!

Hopefully, Matrix [Element & al ] and Revolt will catch up to discord

Germans take to streets after AfD meeting on mass deportation plan (www.theguardian.com)

Thousands of people across Germany have taken to the streets for a fourth consecutive day to voice their opposition to the far-right populist AfD party after politicians from the party met neo-Nazis to discuss a “master plan” for the mass deportation of asylum seekers and German citizens of foreign origin....

With carmakers in a ‘state of shock’ over Tesla-beating BYD’s prices, EU investigators will visit China’s EV giants as part of an anti-subsidy probe (fortune.com)

China might have problems with its economy, but as an exporter of affordable electric vehicles, it’s on a tear. Now, investigators from the European Commission will visit Chinese EV makers as part of a probe into whether they have an unfair advantage thanks to government subsidies....

erranto ,

Grasping at straws. as if German automakers hadn’t received many subsidies and tax exemptions .

Europeans like to pay premium for the prestige of driving German made cars. now if those Chinese EV make it to Europe, they will bring havoc on premium’s cars market share especially in these very challenging times.

Does it affect Invidious front-end as well?? I have been noticing that for a while now, but I thought maybe it is because the page doesn’t use native yt js code to track video download. the same videos would load battery smooth when accessed through YT.

Unlike proton mail , microsoft offers basic IMAP POP functionality of its desktop app for free, Maybe proton should offer the same “essential” email functionality for free before criticizing Microsoft. there are many ways to monetize a service without rendering the free version legless.

They have had desktop bridge app for years but it is only accessible to paying users.

Western media: Israel is a beacon of democracy that mast be defended by all means

also Western media: nothing to see here, you an are anti-Semite, you need re-education.

erranto ,

No doubt about that. minus some bad details .

erranto ,

If they had any proof of “Beheading children” they would have submitted to the International Court of Justice. but they didn’t, they haven’t even dared use that sentence. but here your are parroting your Zionist Hasbara Lies and defending a genocidal agenda that have been in the working for over a century

erranto ,

Never stopped sucking Zionist balls since the end of WWII.

Thank skies I haven’t considered Germany as a destination country.

Western countries records of respecting human rights are nothing but performative theater. They are part of the same imperialist empire. of which they all benefit from.

erranto ,

If you live in a western rich country, than you have definitely benefited directly or indirectly from the imperialist empire, the western coalition has invaded many countries, ousted many governments, installed puppets governments everywhere there interests are at stake, and are keeping the weak developping countries in marching orders, if anyone of them would dare misalign they threaten them with bringing “democracy and freedom” …

erranto ,

Well if you claim that democracies embody the will of the people, than all the citizens bare responsibility of their governments, except those who actively oppose such policies with political action but are outnumber by the majority.

erranto ,

I can’t afford you anyways, so rest assured.

erranto ,

If you have enough money, you can do whatever you want!

I bet they will keep adding loopholes to keep websites bullying their visitors.

why bother making legal frameworks when you can’t enforce them, there are hundreds of thousands of website including very prominent ones that hide the “reject all cookies” button after a second screen prompt. or flat out force you to opt-out of every second cookie category , just so you give up. they haven’t been fined. and they know EU authorities aren’t bothered either, so they keep infringing on the GDPR.

I call it racism

There have been more civilians killed in the latest atrocities by the Israelis in Gaza in only three months than the number of all Ukrainian civilians dead in almost 2 years. but they haven’t spared one bad word of the dictionary in describing Putin’s war in Ukraine while banning their journalists from describing Israel’s atrocities as brutal.

If this isn’t racism and viewing one race more worthy of humanity and empathy than another, than I don’t know what it could be, cause maybe we need a better word to describe both "racism + hypocrisy "

I can recognize a cat, but only two types of vegetables , what are you selling meow meow ?

Just the idea to have to replace a 12k $$ battery pack sends shivers down my spine. I will have to pass on that for now. + the trend with these cars being spy computers on wheels doesn’t make it a desirable vehicle for me.

He is waiting for trump to save Xitter, but trump is taking his time

erranto ,

This just a sample of the deep racism ingrained within decision makers, they know how to keep it in check in front of cameras, but when it comes to policy making such hate finds its way to influence government’s foreign policy. Just imagine if he has been the advisor to the most “progressive” US president, how vile could be his counter part of the republican camp.

erranto ,

It’s fairly enough to raise one child. I don’t see where should be the controversy here, the kid can still have access to his dad’s wealth when he turns 18.

I don’t see things in black and white. I find them to be both morons, but I am not blinded by my political leaning to the point of seeing everything with Manichean reductionist lenses. by the way I have no shtick in US politics
